Hardline Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has tried and failed to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , R-Ga., speaks to reporters after she tried and failed to oust Speaker Mike Johnson , her long-shot effort swiftly and resoundingly rejected by Democrats and Republicans tired of the political chaos, at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, May 8, 2024.

Without Democratic help, Johnson would have certainly faced a more dismal outcome. All told, 11 Republicans voted to proceed with Greene's effort, more than it took to oust then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy last fall, a first in U.S. history. But Democrats have also made clear their help was for this moment alone, and not a promise of an enduring partnership for Johnson's survival.The move now poses its own political risks for Greene, a high-profile provocateur who has moved to the forefront of the party with her own massive following and proximity to Trump.
